Questions
How big is the Rcs controller PCB?
It measures 45.6 × 73 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.65 mm thick.
What parts does the Rcs controller use?
110 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N4R8, TPS63070RNMR, LSM6DSOX and MP26123DR-LF-Z. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Rcs controller KiCad files?
From the psas/rcs-controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/rcs-controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/rcs-controller-sch-microcontroller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Rcs controller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask psas before reusing the design.
